Harrogate Montpellier Pétanque Club

We played a friendly against Leeds B Team on Thursday 1st October.

It was a very enjoyable get together, with Harrogate winning 3-2.

Very sadly, Graham passed away during a match at Leeds on 2nd June.

Graham was one of our most regular players at the Pierhead and was one of our best players in the West Yorkshire League.
Apart from being a good petanque player, Graham was well-liked, very sociable and with a wicked sense of humour.
His dress sense was questionable, with his legs on display even on the coldest of days.

Our thoughts are with Sandra and their family at this sad time.

Please note the Pierhead terrain is reserved for

8 April 2pm – 5pm Coaching
23 April 2pm – 5pm West Yorkshire League match

14 May 2pm – 5pm West Yorkshire League match

An excellent night out at Portofino in Harrogate on 16th December. We had a great time.

Thanks to Sandra for organising.

We hosted a melee with Bridlington Petanque Club on 6th August.
We had a prize for best Harrogate player, Brenda, and the best Bridlington player was Polly who won a shootout with their 3 top scorers.
Hoping to have a return match at Bridlington some time, watch this space!
